How does context injection work in practice?

Context injection allows an agent to preload relevant information before executing tasks. Think of it as priming the system with background knowledge.

Example:

{
  "context": {
    "organization": "SOCRadar",
    "industry": "threat_intelligence",
    "compliance_framework": "ISO 27001"
  },
  "task": "vulnerability_assessment",
  "target": "socradar.io"
}

An MCP Server receiving this can adjust behavior accordingly, for example, applying stricter filters if the org is bound by ISO standards. This improves task relevance and response quality.
